Fact Sheet
The Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) was designed by the U.S. Department of Labor—Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) to encourage and recognize excellence in occupational safety and health. Employers who attain SHARP status are recognized as a model for worksite safety and health. SHARP certification exempts a small business from OSHA’s scheduled inspections for a period of up to three years.
While participating in the consultation process, employers have the opportunity to learn how to maintain a safe and healthy workplace through the development and implementation of proven and effective safety and health management systems. Assistance and training are provided by qualified professionals experienced in helping employers develop safety and health management systems.
